Vegan Chocolate Bar Round Up

You may have noticed that I like my share of Vegan chocolate and candy bars. Lately I've seen some really interesting takes on the chocolate bar. Below you'll find the Chocolate Fakin' Bacon Bar, the Dark Chocolate Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chip Bar, and the Organic Chocolate Pretzel Bar. Quite the variety for Vegan chocolate bars. I'm sure the Frank's Red Hot Chocolate Bar is in the pipeline... If you are a gourmet chocolate fiend, there is a bar with your name on it!

The Fakin' Bacon Bar from Rescue Chocolate.
I'm so happy this bar exists! Besides the fact that Rescue Chocolate
donates 100% of their profits to charity, it's really nice to have an
answer the the hipster bacon craze. To me, the bar really has a bacon
flavor. I think if you are on the fence about Vegetarianism or Veganism, having
a fake bacon flavored chocolate bar is a nice gateway drug.

The Dark Chocolate Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chip Bar from Wild Ophelia. I didn't know what to expect with this one. The concept sounded really yummy, but I didn't know if I was going to get bits and pieces of potato chips in the bar or what. After the first bite I had a strong BBQ chip flavor, but no visible chips. Somehow the flavor shines right through. Texture-wise it was very smooth but still had a little crunch.

The Organic Chocolate Pretzel Bar from Chocolate Decadence. I was really excited for this bar because most of us have had chocolate and pretzels before and I love the combination. Well, I'm happy to say it doesn't disappoint. You get big chunks of salt covered pretzels covered in delicious chocolate. A crunch lovers delight.
